‘Hey Arnold!’ movie: This is what Arnold and co look like in the new TV film

Nickelodeon has revealed photos of the main characters from the heavily anticipated Hey Arnold! TV movie.

The two-hour comeback will be called Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie, suggesting that the screenplay will answer questions fans have from the show finale. The series finale of the 90’s cartoon witnessed Arnold learning of his parents’ adventures in San Lorenzo and left hints that the film is likely to look into their disappearance.

In these newly-released pictures, fans can see slight differences in the characters’ attire. Arnold, for example, wears a jacket instead of his old sweater and, more notably, his signature dress-like shirt is a little less dress-like.

The voice cast is an essential piece to the Hey Arnold! universe and we’re excited for a new generation of fans to hear these characters in a new TV movie.”
